Murmu: At least you have to say, we are saying that UP Government did not inform, they informed only after 28/2. Subsequently…on record it is not there.

Sreekumar: It’s not my duty, I have to comment upon from 9th onwards. Complication is already there. Central IB also did not give the information.

Murmu: They will ask about pre-Godhra and after Godhra, you have to clearly answer that. You are not concerned with pre-Godhra and afterwards also based all records. This is not from the record that now come to your question on 24th April 2002 report. Few questions, i.e. on 8 to 10 points in the report. They are mostly like advisory kind of thing.

Pandya: All information you collected from the public.

Sreekumar: From public and multifarious sources.

Pandya: But this, you have no authorisation to get it checked.

Murmu: That will ask you, on points in 24/4 report that what and how you came to know this. Another thing is that they are not doing investigation. That is not your look out. They will try to put in your mouth that police officers did not investigate properly. If you report that the question of which police station, which officer, entire state, etc will come up. They will bring out this for making it a story. That very carefully you have to answer.

Murmu: That will be the basis of their report.

Pandya: Any of IB department is all always getting, collecting information from their sources… analysis it and report to the State, that is part of duty. I am telling you, after sending an information what happened?

Pandya: Let us say, a message is sent to government, whether the government would act on it?

Murmu: They will ask different questions as to whether any action has been taken by the government or police. Have you any idea?

Sreekumar: I have no idea.

Murmu: So, you can say that it is my job to report. That is not question. What happened afterwards? You can say that they are not supposed to inform you about action taken by them. My duty is to alert, the government is to take appropriate action on verification of facts and figures.

Sreekumar: Whenever source is available it is checked back and their confirmation report is sent and home department is informed.

Pandya: It will be asked what further action you have taken?

Sreekumar: I am not sure about the execution. Whenever information is received we may check up with the Central IB also.

Pandya: You have no measurement as to how much of the information is correct or not?

Murmu: Now they will ask, all right, you have informed the government, but afterwards have you seen any situation? Up to 26th it’s all right but after 26th if there is no action, the question will come up on the government i.e. for explaining the position that after Sreekumar’s report also nothing is done by the government.

Murmu: The question will come after 26th report if there is no follow-up action, does it mean that policemen were not working?

Sreekumar: Yes, this has to be seen.

Sreekumar: Since the matter pertains to my predecessor’s period I cannot answer, as I don’t carry secret reports of State IB after my transfer.
